Men might do well to avoid the Warehouse Sale, open 'til 8pm tonight in Chelsea. One male reader stopped by yesterday and found the selection a bit too Ryan Seacrest for his taste: "The Warehouse Sale was, on Friday afternoon, relatively calm and civilized for a traveling sale. Hipster-leaning guys probably won't find anything; it's mostly True Religion ($119) and Antik. A lot of extravagant stitching and pocketwork, and I didn't see any slim cuts. Heavy on the Ed Hardy and other aggressively graphic accessories. Women would have more options here, with subdued, newish jeans from J Brand ($80), 575 ($90), and denim shorts by James for Barneys CO-OP ($80). (For men, a lot of very similar stuff is at the Filene's Basement down the block.)" Also, if you bring a copy of AM New York, there's no $5 admission fee. [Racked Inbox]
